Solution To Ladder Problem (p11)

Book fans who have seen the advance copies of Nakayamas The
Treasure Chest Enigma (reviewed elsewhere in this issue) will recognise
this beautiful problem.

It first appeared on a St. Valentines Day, and it took the composer
a week to complete (normally a ladder problem takes him between a
quarter of an hour and an hour). Incidentally, the fewer stones at the
start of a ladder problem the more elegant it is considered. A
masterpiece.

(Incidentally, readers might like to try their hand at composing
their own ladder problems.
